there is a company that has a product that is a degreaser for the pavement, It is called newpig and a lil goes a long way with a bottle. I beleive it is calld green industrial.
I've allways used kitty litter but baking soda and some hydrogen peroxide mix should do the trick to
SPRINKLE SAND OVER OIL/GREASE SPOTS,LEAVE IT FOR A WHILE AND SWEEP IT CLEAN

Absorb the liquid on the surface with kitty litter then pour Simple Green on it and wash it away. Be aware of your local laws concerning washing such things into the gutter.
KITTY LITTER WORKS GREAT AND IT'S CHEAP. JUST TOSS IT ON.
I don't know the brand name, all I know is that thre IS such a liquid. I got it at Home Depot. Ask there.
To all the excellent answers you have received I would add pouring a can of cheap soda pop on the stain..
Litter only absorbs the residue and not the staining.
I just did mine yesterday with Muriatic acid and a commercial degreaser, and the spot has virtually vanished.
Certainly I hosed it off after, and didn't have to scrub at all. I suspect whatever you use will effect any ground or plant life adjacent.

Sounds strange, but try kitty litter. It will absorb the oil and remove the marks on the driveway. Works best on "fresh" spots.
